Welcome to the community, @lawrenceluke! You should be able to solve your issue by following this post discussed previously:

Seed and Randomize: whats that preventing to deploy my form?

Hi @mosharaf, Welcome back to the community! Randomizing choice order is a feature available within KoBoToolbox to reduce enumerators bias on selecting a response for a question. Choice order can be randomized for any of the select question types. Simply set randomize to true in the parameters column of the XLSForm survey sheet to display the choices in a different order each time the question is displayed as shown in the figure below: In your survey tab: [Image%201] In your choices tab: [I…

Okay @Kal_Lam , should I just all the parameters to true like randomize=true?

[lawrenceluke]

like some parameters already have randomize=fase;seed=

Should I just change as randomize=true;seed=?

how aboutthe seed? what value to add or else i get rid of it?

@lawrenceluke, you may download your form as XLSForm and make the necessary changes.

@Kal_Lam I did so, and the changes stipulated above were made in the XLS form, i saved t and replace with the existing one in the server, unfortunately, the same error pops up!!

What should i do?

or else, i may share my project with you @Kal_Lam so you can see yourself!!

@lawrenceluke, would you mind uploading your XLSForm (the updated one) as a new project to see how it behaves?

[lawrenceluke]

I did just what you suggested

Unfortunately, here is the error message

unable to deploy

your form cannot be deployed because it contains errors:

[row : 72] List name not in choices sheet: np3fd79

@lawrenceluke

[row : 72] List name not in choices sheet: np3fd79

@lawrenceluke, OK this issue is something different. Maybe you will need to do the following to solve this:

• Download your project as XLSForm.
• Search for np3fd79 under the survey tab and the choices tab. If you have used it under the survey tab, you will also need to define the values under the choices tab.
• Maybe validating your XLSForm through his online validator should also help you identify syntax issues if present within your XLSForm.
